From home w**es to gold medals. 🍷

I started McCarter Cellars with 15 years of learning, tasting, and trusting my instincts. Today, every bottle still carries that same mix of chemistry, soul, and Sonoma County roots.

If you’ve been curious about my journey, come taste it for yourself.
Book a private tasting and join me along the way. Cheers! 🍇

🎃🍷 OCTOBER IS HERE… and we’re pairing spooky-season comfort food with ultra-premium Sonoma County w**e all month long.

Week 1 pairing: ZINFANDEL + “Witchy” BBQ Meatballs
Quick recipe:
1) In a slow cooker add 2 lbs meatballs (frozen is fine)
2) Pour in 1 cup BBQ sauce + 1/2 cup grape jelly (trust me 😄)
3) Cook on LOW 3–4 hrs, stir once

That sweet-smoky bite with our Rockpile Zinfandel is straight-up Halloween magic.

Want to taste it with me? Book a tasting by appointment this October and we’ll build your perfect fall flight.

Cheers!
